It’s time to transfer the beer to the bottle! I tried a little of the premature beer. It definitely needs a little time in the bottle to mellow, and carbonate. I can’t wait a month to try this again. I know it’ll get better and better up to six months from now. Waiting is the…

I’ve decided it’s time to get back into brewing. So I went down to alternative beverage and get All the supplies to start crafting my own beer.  I decided on the Irish Red.  It’s one of my favorite styles.  I got the kettle, an outdoor burner, bottles, and all the ingredients. My sister has been…

I’d like to wish each and every one of you a very merry Christmas!  We may not celebrate it the same way.  We may not even think of the same things today.  But the one thing I hope we can agree on is Peace on Earth.  It’s the gift we all should want every year. …

It’s a quote from Henry David Thoreau. Well, It’s been about two weeks since I left my last job.  And even in that period of time lots has happened.  I believe my divorce is now final.  I had to go through arbitration to settle the division of assets and debts.  Turns out I’ll have to…

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, but I have good reasons. I’ve been working at my current employer for three and a half years.  I no longer see this place in a positive light.  So I’ve worked hard to find a better job.  After a fairly short search I found a new…

It’s another birthday for me.  I’m going to take the day off, and catch up on some video games.  Hang out with my friends.  Grab a nice meal… I’m thinking sushi!  And mostly just slack off. See you guys later!

Penny and Mark’s family was having a family reunion, and asked if I wanted to go. I’d never been to Owego, NY before, so I thought I’d go. I got to see the town, meet their extended family and pretty much relax!  I also got to go to Spiedie fest.  It’s a festival that surrounds…

I’ve added a few photos from my trip to Raleigh, NC last December.  I took the backroads to get there.  I wasn’t interested in making good time.  I was more interested in seeing what had changed in the last decade. You see, back in 1995 I was a up and coming freshman at NCSU.  I…

I just wanted to thank you all for a wonderful year.  I’ve really enjoyed pushing myself to produce a post a week this year.  It was challenging, but fun.  I’d like to ask for a Christmas present from you all this year.  It’s nothing that will cost you money.  It will only cost you a…

I’d like to wish you all a happy new year!  My goal for this year is to bring you all more SQL articles than before.  I’d like to work up to at least one a week.  Hopefully I can keep up with that. I’m looking forward to finishing my SQL 101 series.  I’ve also been…
